+.SH NAME
+i3status \- Generates a status line for dzen2
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B i3status
+.RB [\|\-c
+.IR configfile \|]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+.B i3status
+is a small program (around 500 SLOC) for filling dzen2. It is designed to be
+very efficient by issuing a very small number of systemcalls (as the bar should
+be updated every second or at your specified interval). This ensures that even
+under high load, your status bar is updated correctly and it saves a little bit
+of battery life by not spawning new processes every second like shell scripts do.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+.TP
+.B wlan
+Specifies the name of your WLAN interface (e.g. wlan0 or ath0 or eth1). Don't
+specify if you don't have a WLAN interface or if it should not be displayed.
+
+.TP
+.B eth
+Specifies the name of your ethernet interface (e.g. eth0). Don't specify if you
+don't have an ethernet interface or if it should not be displayed.
+
+.TP
+.B time_format
+Format for the time/date to be displayed. See strftime(3) or date(1). Don't
+specify it if you don't want the time to be shown.
+
+.TP
+.B battery
+The number of the battery you want to display. This option can be specified
+multiple times to display multiple batteries. Don't specify it if you don't
+have a battery. To get the number of the specific battery, see
+/sys/class/power_supply/BAT*
+
+If you want i3status to use the last full capacity instead of the design capacity
+of the battery, specify the f-flag, like this:
+
+.Vb 10
+# Use the last full capacity
+battery 0,f
+.Ve
+
+.TP
+.B run_watch
+You can specify this directive multiple times. Each line first has a name (one
+word, separated by space) followed by a path (can contain wildcards, given to
+glob(3)). The path is the path to a PID-file which contains just the process ID
+of a process. i3status will then check if the process is still running and
+displays "yes" or "no" depending on the status. This is useful for displaying
+if your VPN is running, or dhclient for DHCP and so on...
+
+.TP
+.B order
+Followed by a comma separated list of the modules (run, wlan, eth, battery,
+load, time) this directive specifies the order of the information which should
+be displayed. An order is accomplished by prefixing the files in wmii's /rbar
+directory with a number, that is 0VPN, 1DHCP, 2time and so on..
+
+.TP
+.B color
+If specified, color mode is on. This affects WLAN which will be displayed red
+if WLAN is down and the run_watch system which will display the status in
+red/green.
+
+.TP
+.B get_ethspeed
+Get current speed of the ethernet interface using the same mechanism as
+ethtool. You need to start i3status with root privileges to use this.
+
+.TP
+.B get_cpu_temperature
+Gets the temperature of the first thermal zone or the specified thermal zone
+(if any). Use it to display your CPU temperature.
+
+.TP
+.B normcolors
+Specifies the colors for background/border in the same format (html colorcodes)
+as wmii's configuration (just the last two values), that is #222222 #333333 for
+example. Text color will be determined automatically (red/green/#888888),
+depending on context.
+
+.TP
+.B interval
+Specifies the interval in which the status bar will be updated. If you got a
+very slow system or feel you don't need so much information, you may want to
+increase it.
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.B /etc/i3status.conf
+System-wide configuration file.

+
+.SH BUGS
+Sometimes, i3status crashes when the wlan interface vanishes (killswitch). I
+haven't yet found the bug, as it is not reproducible. If you can reproduce
+this, please fix it and send me a patch.
